I've bought a MPC 2000XL second hand. Attic find; not used in a while.
Screen didn't work. I expected it to be a matter of replacing it since the rest looked unused. Optically in perfect shape.
I replaced the screen but the issue remains: It blanks, all other lights are on.
I tested:
- all cables / wires / ribbons
- RAM
- Floppy drive
So what is left to test? It seems like it's just stuck.
I want to install an SD drive but to do that I need to use the 1.20 OS floppy to upgrade, and atm it doesn't do anything...
